Lineart

Aside from redrawing Chat Noir's pose way too many times until I was happy ~ basic line art stage over my sketch.

Base Colors

Base colors on my usual layers for skin, clothes, and hair. Till here I worked in photoshop but from here I'll take it over to Corel Painter for coloring.

Color Shading

Most of the coloring done! Some final details needed than on to the background.

Color Details

Colored the line art and added some extra details. Decided to open Ladybug's mouth like in my original sketch.

Background Wip

Dropped in a neutral gray and began with a flower idea behind them. With the help of a friend we decided the flowers should be lilac for first love and yellow chrysanthemum for secret admirer / neglected love ;).

Final

The final art! Mixed the flowers together and added detail, created a dot pattern, and drew their names which I outlined with the characters to help them stand out. This step took awhile till I discovered what I liked.

waytooemily you need to bump it up on that list! I felt the same way when my friends told me for months to watch it. They finally got to me while waiting for something to cook by throwing their phone at me with an episode and I was hooked from there...

Looks like I need friends who are willing to throw their phones at me, haha!
The final result is fantastic! Love the added flower symbolism <33333
Especially loving the dashes of pink in Chat Noir's eyes!
